AI YI YI, ROBOT
\nI don\u2019t think it understands
\nI\u2019m the one<\/em> that gives commands:
\nIt cannot be controlled,
\nWill not do what it\u2019s told,
\nAnd refuses to untie my hands.<\/p>\n

\n

From the archive<\/em><\/p>\n

LIVING DOLL
\n\u201cNot much longer must I wait
\nTo embrace my perfect mate:
\nShe\u2019s arriving soon
\nAnd will make me swoon
\nWhen she steps out of her crate.\u201d
\n(2018)<\/p>\n

BETTER OR WORSE?
\nMarried couples aren\u2019t cutting their knots
\nAnd divorce rates are lessening lots.
\nWhat\u2019s the reason for this
\nSudden outbreak of bliss?
\nEveryone\u2019s getting married to bots.
\n(2015)<\/p>\n

BOOTED
\nWhen first I was her suitor,
\nShe said no one was cuter;
\nBut now I find
\nThat I\u2019ve been blind:
\nShe\u2019s in love with her computer<\/span>!
\n(2007)<\/p>\n

FALL START
\nFrom the clock that I keep on the wall
\nI acquired one more hour last Fall,
\nBut I never did use it
\nAnd will now likely lose it:
\nTell me what was the point of it all?
\n(2017)<\/p>\n

ON THE BLINK
\nSaving daylight<\/span> is wonderfully wise
\nAnd a cinch if a citizen tries.
\nIt\u2019s so simple to do,
\nI\u2019ll explain it to you:
\nYou\u00a0save daylight<\/span>\u00a0by closing your eyes.
\n(2007)<\/p>\n

OUR CONFUSION
\nWill we ever develop the knack
\nOf remembering how to keep track,
\nOvercoming the \u201cblock\u201d
\nOf resetting our clock:
\nTo \u201cfall forward\u201d or, rather, \u201cfall back\u201d?
\n(2005)<\/p>\n

RABID RESPONSE
\nWe hear calls for the banning of guns
\nEvery time a mass murderer stuns,
\nBut if bombs, cars, or knives
\nHave claimed multiple lives,
\nWe hear calls for the banning of guns.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
